Hyundai has more than just luxury on the mind for its Genesis division

Speaking to Australia’s CarAdvice, Albert Biermann, Hyundai’s head of vehicle testing and high performance development, promises the N division will include models for both Hyundai and Genesis, delivering a “full package” rather than simply models with minor performance enhancements and warmed-over styling.

First introduced last year, Hyundai aims to build up its N Performance division up to the same levels as BMW’s M and Mercedes’ AMG models. In fact, Biermann served as BMW M’s vice president of engineering before jumping ship to Hyundai.

Hyundai’s future N Performance model plans are still under wraps, but given the overlap with Genesis, it’s clear the Korean automaker has more than just coddling luxury on the mind.
